Continental Hydraulics CEM-PID - Closed Loop PID Module

Continental Hydraulics are at the forefront of engineering hydraulic solutions for over 50 years-a testament to a long-standing reputation built upon your challenges and opportunities. A worldwide leader- a one-stop-shop for valves, pumps, power units and proportional products-all assembled in the USA. The Continental Hydraulics closed loop PID module compares command and feedback signals, and applies traditional PID gain settings to the error signal. This modified signal is provided as an analog voltage (0 to /-10v) output. It may be used to drive proportional pressure or flow control valves with on board electronics, or as a command to another amplifier module. It is suitable to provide dynamic closed loop control in pressure, force, or velocity systems.

A wide range of analog signals are accepted. User may select either voltage or current input mode. These inputs are easily scaled to match system requirements. Input command can be ramped. PID variables are adjustable over a wide range. Easily switched from open loop to closed loop control. Output can be scaled to match the proportional valve being driven. If command current signal is outside of the proper range, the module is disabled. Digital outputs inform the user of system errors. This module is easily adapted to a variety of system requirements. All variables are user adjusted with easy to use software on your Microsoft Windows® laptop. Control variables are stored in non-volatile memory internal to the module. All variables can be read by the laptop, and reproduced exactly on other modules.
